The onboard sound I use is decent quality. It isnt inline with some of the higher end boards but using headsets does it really make that much of a difference? I would suggest to take the extra cash you were going to spend on the audio card and put that towards a nicer video board. If you are really wanting a different audio card anyhow, just upgrade the onboard audio later.
